Traffic Counts in Long Lake
I was quite surprised how relative little traffic goes through the village of Long Lake. While sometimes busy in the summer months, the AADT of traffic going north through the village to Tupper Lake is a paltry 579 cars per day (or an average of one car passing every 2 1/2 minutes), although heading east on NY 28N towards Newcomb and Thruway, it's 1684 AADT or roughly one car per minute. Probably daytime traffic is much higher then nighttime traffic, although it looks the DOT hasn't done a time of day study.

A cloverleaf built to help reduce delays from turning cars onto NY 5A, dating back to the era before the Thruway when traffic demands were higher. False color image.

Marshlands
Such an amazing swamp, really close to all the awful urban noise and congestion of downtown Utica.
